Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem login in to my upgraded DNN5.0 site (from DNN4.9.0) when using FireFox or Google Chrome. I allways get the same error, "Failed to Load view_state". In IE7 there is no problem at all... :/

This only happens when I use a custom skin (made for DNN4.9.0) to place te "Account Login" module. If I use the MinimalExtropy it works well. The rest of the site works fine with this skin... no view_state problems at all (even in aspx populated forms).

Has DNN5 introduced any changes in skin structure than could be causing this trouble?

Thanks in advance.

Finally made some sense out of it... my ASCX skin had a <body onLoad=...></body> tag in it. I know this is not common practice but it was left by the previous developer and it did work in DNN4.9.0, it was as simples as taking it out, no magic workarounds involved :D

Thanks anyway

Here's another little nugget...

In Host > Host Settings, if you set Fallback Skin Doctype to one of the "XHTML..." choices it might cause older skins to "misbehave" (things not lining up, not stretching to fill the page, etc.). I had this problem with (an older version of) the popular Minimalist skin. Setting Fallback Skin Doctype back to "HTML 4 (Legacy)" made things work well again (after adding "#form { height: 100%; }" to the portal CSS).

Hi Timo,

Thanks for posting the early release of the document. I've mirrored it on the wiki I posted in the Announcement forum. I'm hoping we can get a few people to start contributing articles so we can try and get one knowledge database setup we can all benefit from. I hope you don't mind I included your document, but I do link back to this page so people can continue the discussions.

You're welcome to sign up for an account, and edit anything else on the site. Actually anyone is invited! Most of the content is from the old dnnwiki site (which was pretty out of date anyways). I spent a few hours today trying to get the links, and table of contents working decently.

Thanks for the feedback and I am glad to hear that better documentation is on the way.  Experienced .net programmers are able to find their way around, but folks with more of a business background will struggle a bit.
